Did you hear about the change of scenery Mike had in part 1 of 2? Head back there and check it out if you haven't! Then join us for Part 2 as Napcast co-hosts, Nick (he/him), and Mike (he/him), focuses on how we can support toddlers, preschoolers, and that new colleague of yours as they transition into new learning environments and deal with all the emotions that comes with it.  

Since meeting over 5 years ago at Hilltop Children's Center and Educator Institute in Seattle, WA (Coast Salish Territory), Nick Terrones (he/him) and Mike Browne (he/him) have been working towards a critical reimagination of ECE spaces for BIPOC educators and youth. In 2020, they teamed up to deliver a podcast titled Napcast, where they explore the intersection of early childhood education with race, identity, and culture. Now in new roles, Nick as the Program Director of Daybreak Star Preschool at United Indians of All Tribes, and Mike, Sr. Director of Community Engagement at Cultivate Learning, they combine their experience from their time in the classroom with their insights as ECE leaders in order to challenge your perspective on the ways we teach, play, and love society's youngest citizens.
